see you at the drum circle bro

i just got a k-rad new usb/midi interface in the mail. also i have been playing with telephone-pickup recordings of computers.

this is a 23-minute improvisation using the midi controller and short loops of electromagnetic emissions from the guts of my thinkpad. i've been listening to a lot of ricardo villalobos who while making a record typically can't be bothered to change a parameter every 3 minutes, so this set is pretty slow, dubby and static-y, kicks at 126bpm and sounds like basic channel meets sleeping pills.

i call it 'college band' because it makes me think of three 17-year-olds with dreadlocks sitting on a couch beneath a jim morrison poster and talking about philosophy. maybe we're all just like bugs in a jar, bro...a jar labeled 'techno.'

put it in your drive
